5th September 1917

Fine still day. All balloons up.

Went to 17th Coy in morning and from there to 1st Anzac’s Corps Q. They promised to issue 2 Armstrong and Nissen Huts to 17th Coy for their new camp.

Faithful and I went to Argues in afternoon. I made brief trip in new Frence 1000 cubic metre balloon. Met Sansom there and he and I went up together. We reached 5000 ft, with 200 lbs of ballast. Very good balloon, and quite steady.

Mitchell and Crane, 5th (B W) gave us a lift back in their car.
